North Texas ICAC Task Force

05/20/2026

We’re preparing for the summer!!

Summer means more screen time, more apps, more gaming, and more online interaction.

But it also means more opportunities to protect, educate, and connect with our children.

📱 This summer:✔️ Review privacy settings✔️ Check location sharing✔️ Set screen time limits✔️ Talk about online safety✔️ Encourage balance offline & online

The best online safety tool isn’t an app—It’s a conversation.

This summer, don’t wait for something bad to happen.

Is your child’s location being shared?
Many apps track location automatically

Do you know who can contact your child online?

Many accounts are PUBLIC by default.

Take 5 minutes tonight to review:
🔒 Privacy settings
👥 Friend lists
💬 Messaging permissions

Small steps = big protection

The most dangerous app isn’t always the most popular…

🚨

Most online risks don’t happen during the day…
they happen late at night.

📵 Less supervision
💬 More private messaging
⚠️ Increased vulnerability

Set device limits. Create boundaries. Stay involved.

You don’t have to be an expert—just present.

4th Annual North Texas ICAC Task Force Meeting

Today, we proudly hosted our 4th Annual North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Meeting at the Denton County Courthouse.

With coverage spanning 121 counties and more than 250 affiliated agencies, our task force represents one of the largest collaborative child protection efforts in the region.

These meetings are more than just updates — they strengthen partnerships, enhance investigative strategies, improve victim response, and ensure we remain ahead of evolving online threats targeting children.

Every case, every training, every partnership reflects one mission:
Protecting children. Holding offenders accountable. Strengthening our communities.

We remain committed to working tirelessly alongside our local, state, and federal partners to combat online exploitation and keep North Texas families safe.
